Bio:

Travis Mottershead is a Sr. Director of Product Delivery at VGS, with a background that bridges deep technical experience and customer-facing leadership. He began his career as a developer at 17, spending long days coding in emacs and successfully building, selling, and implementing software to the world’s largest names in industries such as banking, money movement, e-commerce, streaming, government, and many more. Early in his career, Travis took the path of cold-calling business leaders while working as a developer - an experience that not only helped him overcome a severe speech impediment but also taught him the power of technical communication. Today, he teaches developers how to better articulate the value of what they build, with a focus on improving collaboration, driving adoption, and closing the gap between code and customer impact.
